AUSTIN — American far
mers cannot hope to pull them
selves out of their financial
gloom until the world economy
improves, the president of the
American Farm Bureau Federa
tion said Monday.
“I think it’s tied to the general
economy of the United States
and the world,” Robert B. De
lano said at a Texas Farm
Bureau leadership conference. I
think we’re closer to ending the
recession than we were this time
last year, he said.
Delano said he expects to see
an upturn in the farm economy
by the end of 1983, and he
urged farmers to sign up for
President Reagan’s new crop
swap program to speed the re
covery.
The president of the Texas
Farm Bureau, S.M. True Jr. of
Plainview, also said farmers
should back Reagan’s payment-
“Without such a pro
gram, we face another
build-up of surplus
commodities which will
again depress farm
prices,” S. M. True,
president of the Texas
Farm Bureau, said.
in-kind plan to wipe out price
depressing surpluses.
Reagan’s proposal, said
True, “offers the best available
method for dealing with the sur
plus problem, and we must
make every effort to insure that
we do our part to make the P1K
program successful.”
True said the ultimate
answer to farmers’ problems lies
with Congress, who must ba
lance the federal budget. He
told the 500 conference dele
gates the budget must be ba
lanced through cut backs in
spending rather than new taxes.
“If we can’t afford cost-of-
living adjustments in current so
cial programs, then we had bet
ter start adjusting the adjust
ments,” he said. “Current levels
of deficit spending will surely
lead to re-inflation with inhe
rent skyrocketing costs of pro
duction and interest rates."
In conjunction with the crop
swap plan. True said other
programs must be devised to
bring agricultural production in
line with domestic
demands.
Atheist claims
oaths biased
United Press International
AUSTIN — Court documents
filed by Madalyn Murray
O’Hair, Monday, say that the
ph rase, “God save our nation
and this honorable court,” is a
prayer and its recital in a cour
troom violates the U.S. Constitu
tion.
O’Hair, head of the Amer
ican Atheist Center in Austin,
asked that the phrase, often re
cited by bailiffs to convene court
sessions, be declared unconstitu
tional and barred from Austin
federal courtrooms.
She also filed a motion asking
that a federal oath of office
taken by court personnel ending
with the words “so help me God”
be ruled a violation of the Con
stitution.
O’Hair filed the motions in
conjunction with a federal court
suit she and her Society of
Separationists Inc. filed in 1978
challenging a provision of the
Texas Constitution, which she
says requires anyone holding
public office or a public trust to
profess a belief in a supreme
being.
. The motions follow a court
appearance by O’Hair earlier
this month during which she
said she heard a bailiff recite the
phrase she claims is a prayer.
When she complained to
presiding U.S. District Judge
James R. Nowlin, she said the
judge told her recital of the
phrase depended on how he felt
and how many people were in
the courtroom.
